Sammanfattning

This report presents an evaluation of MADRE and its Action Plan for Enhancing Gender Rights in Crisis 2018-2021, to which Sida
provides core support. The purpose of the evaluation was to examine the relevance, coherence, impact and lessons learned from its
implementation, as well as to assess its effectiveness in achieving results, in order to provide input to the decision making of
MADRE’s strategic planning as well as Sida’s decision on continued support. The evaluation further focused on two countries that
have a long-standing partnership with MADRE: Colombia and Iraq. The evaluation found that MADRE’s work is relevant to both Sida’s
priorities, their partners, and MADRE’s own goals of peacebuilding and achieving social change, and that it has contributed both
directly and indirectly to increased support of women and LGTBI survivors of violence. The Strategic Plan could however be
strengthened by making the interlinkages among their strategies stronger. Moreover, the evaluators recommend MADRE to further
develop their partner strategy, as well as to strengthen their current M&E system and to provide training on said system to the
countries where they work.

Evaluation of Sida’s International Training Programmes (ITP) as Instruments for Supporting Effective and Inclusive Institutions

Tematik: Demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter Hälsa Utbildning och forskning

The main purpose of the evaluation was to promote learning and inform the continued development of future capacity development programmes (ITP), as well as a general approach to capacity development as a method for supporting effective and inclusive institutions. The objective was to assess the relevance and effectiveness of five ITPs, to identify what works well and less well. Conclusions: The evaluation concludes that ITP design and methods were generally relevant. All the five ITPs promoted locally driven change, most promoted systemic solutions and a long-term approach, and a majority were adaptive. Less attention was paid to understanding local power relations. Intended outputs were achieved to a great extent although the results of change initiatives were mixed. The most prominent outcome was the forging local partnerships. Key enabling factors included local adaptation, participant engagement, and multi-stakeholder involvement. The key barriers were Covid-19, funding constraints, and lack of leadership buy-in. Recommendations: The evaluation recommends that ITPs should focus more on organisations, target decision-makers, promote more regional exchange, have longer programme rounds, and that measures should be taken to ensure that change initiatives are completed and learning is passed on. It also recommends to invest in alumni networks, build synergies with other projects, and improve M&E systems.
